The Army ROTC program at The Ohio State University is hosting its 10th annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. The event offers members of the local community an opportunity to gather and remember the lives lost in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

This year’s event carries added significance as it coincides with the 25th anniversary of the tragedy. Organizers expect between 1,500 and 1,600 people to participate in the climb. That would reflect a slight increase from last year’s event, which drew approximately 1,400 participants.

Designed to honor both the victims and the emergency first responders who responded during the attacks, the gathering will feature guest speakers and an invocation given by an Army chaplain. The program is structured to give attendees time to reflect on the lives lost and the legacy of that day.

Organizers emphasized that participation is open to everyone, regardless of whether they intend to climb the stadium stairs. Community members are welcome to attend in any capacity, including attending strictly to watch and support the participants.

Major Kevin Overmeyer of the Army ROTC program highlighted the importance of bringing people together to build a shared connection around the memory of first responders and victims.

“It’s very important to remember the events of 9/11/2001,” Overmeyer stated. “A lot of people in the community are coming together to have a shared understanding of what that means and experience what some of the first responders did on that day.”

Overmeyer noted that his own memories of the 2001 attacks motivated him to pursue his military commission through the ROTC program as a way to fulfill his duty and give back.
